¡Los mejores recursos para el Día del Trabajador y la Trabajadora! 🧑‍🏫 

Are you looking for a deeper and student center way to work the topic of ecosystems with your students?

This digital study guide is designed using the Thinking Routine Slow Complexity Capture - Find, Capture, Explain, Wonder.

Thinking Routines are powerful tools that help students to dig deeper in the process of learning and thinking and answer the following question: What can we do as educators to help our students become better thinkers?

Using this guide, students will be able to give definitions, explain, and ask questions related to the topic.

*A text will be added in October 2021.

Objective: Understand the importance of bees for the ecosystems.

Students watch "The Bee Movie", which can be found in Netflix. They can watch it during Science class and discuss about it while watching, or they can watch it at home (as homework) and discuss about it the next class. It depends on the teacher.

The idea of this activity is for students to develop critical thinking by reflecting and discussing about the environmental function of bees. After watching the movie and discussing as a class, students answer this assessment to show their understanding about the importance of bees as pollinators, and purpose actions to protect them. There are only open questions, because the idea is for children to reflect, think further and express their ideas in a coherent way.

This is the second part of the Ecology evaluation. The open answer questions in this evaluation assess students' understanding of ecological interactions and the impact of introduced species on native populations.

Students are asked to identify four ecological interactions present in the Cerros Isla ecosystem and describe each interaction, mentioning the species participating in each case. This question assesses students' ability to identify and describe the different types of ecological interactions that can occur between species.

Students are then asked to explain one of the ecological interactions present in the text, indicating whether the interaction is positive, neutral, or negative for each participant. This question assesses students' ability to apply their knowledge of ecological interactions to real-world examples.

Next, students are asked to explain two ways in which introduced species alter native populations, including their knowledge of ecological interactions in their answer. This question assesses students' ability to understand the complex ways in which introduced species can interact with native species and impact native populations.

Finally, students are asked to give one example of an introduced invasive species and explain its impact on native flora and/or fauna. This question assesses students' ability to identify and describe the impact of introduced invasive species on native ecosystems.

Overall, the open answer questions in this evaluation provide a comprehensive assessment of students' understanding of ecological interactions and the impact of introduced species on native populations.

Animals are diverse living beings found all over the planet, ranging from tiny insects to majestic mammals. They exhibit a wide array of behaviors and adaptations to survive in their respective habitats, making them an integral part of Earth's ecosystem and deserving of our utmost respect and conservation efforts.
